Japanese Green Tea in SF?

[Philip]

Any ideas for stores that sell high quality sencha or gyokuro tea in San Francisco? I'm looking for loose-leaf tea.

Used to get my tea from White Crane Tea in Japan Center, but they closed, and their website is also shut down.

Thanks.

Puripan also in SF Center has high quality Korean green teas.

Since White Crane disappeared and my attempts to contact him failed, I am buying tea from a shop in JTown called Asakichi. If you enter the Mall near the cinemas it is on the right side and it says Antiques outside the shop. The owner is a soft-spoken very nice man that has a comprehensive selection of quality loose-leaf tea.
